D'prpht - GOD Lyrics

Gotta listen to God's word and be obedient
Give my tithes and offerings and reap the millions
Not dollars but blessings come seven-fold
There are things more important than getting gold
Christianity's getting warped and commercialized
Turned the TV on today dear God my heart capsized
Pastors embezzling funds, illegitimate enterprise
The problems are escalating when will we realize
You should be able to tell who's a Christian from a distance
Everything we are is a reflection of our words and actions
It'll never hurt anyone if you step forward and show compassion
Doesn't really matter if you live in the streets or in a mansion
We live in a time where violence is prevalent
And people do anything just so they can stay relevant
Giving in to peer pressure and doing it for the hell-of-it
Without a second thought, they're not even being hesitant
Dear God I'm just asking for a revelation
The end times are near, gotta have patience
Don't want calamity to strike, don't wanna be Haitian
I'm afraid for my people, eternal damnation
He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end
Respect him as my Father but confide in like a friend
Stand up for my religion and get thrown into the den
Whatever it takes for me to get to the promise land
My body is the temple of the living God
My body is the temple of the living God
My body is the temple of the living God
I will never be struck down by the Devil's rod
In the dark of the night You are there
When I am so alone and my heart full of despair
All I need to do is whisper a simple prayer
Good Lord I know that you have a heavy cross to bear
Sometimes I just wish that people really would care
About what I have to say instead of falling into the devil's lair
Of worldly desires like drugs or sacrilegious tatts
Or spitting bars about hitting people with their GAT
Temporary pleasure can be easily bought with money
But just think about the promise land flowing with milk and honey
If we simply just follow the laws set by the Almighty
We're all sinners but just hold on to his words tightly
I am the thorn on your crown
I am the sweat from your brow
Don't need a chopper to get me on my knees to bow
But for now, God I need guidance I don't know how
I don't know how live, I don't know how to fight
Surrounded by negativity in my daily life
Everything they say or do, makes me wanna take flight
God give me wisdom, elevate me to new heights
And let me show them what is right
Supply tools to expedite
Your Holy bible, Holy name
Only You can make it rain
I will rise among the saints
Gaze transfixed on Jesus face
I don't care about my race
Whatever it is I rest my case, Lord
My body is the temple of the living God
My body is the temple of the living God
My body is the temple of the living God
I will never be struck down by the Devil's rod
My body is the temple of the living God
My body is the temple of the living God
My body is the temple of the living God
I will never be struck down by the Devil's rod
You know that we will never be struck down by the Devil's rod
You know that we will never be struck down by the Devil's rod
You know that we will never be struck down by the Devil's rod
You know that we will never be struck down by the Devil's rod
Yeah word to God
Yeah I'm not a fraud
Yeah I'm not slipshod
Yeah praise to the most high, Lord
